Hi Rose! Is a chipmunk the same as a squirrel? And you wrote that the photo of the windmill reminded you of South Korea. Is South Korea also flat like the Netherlands? I know so little about your country. I should like to know more.

Hi Wil, squirrel and chipmunks are different. Squirrels are a little bigger and has a bushy tail while the latter are smaller. I know that squirrels can climb trees but I haven't seen chipmunks do that, they might but I am not sure.

About Korea, there are mountains and there are also plains. Philippines is my country but we lived in South Korea for two years when my husband was still in the Navy.

I absolutely adore chipmunks, so I really enjoyed this post! Your photos are great, especially those last two action shots! Doesn't Chip look pleased with himself? That peanut must make for a pretty tasty "carry out" dinner! :-)

We had a local chipmunk at our place in Maine when I was in high school. My mom named her Bertha, and she was a hoot. She became very tame and would sit in our hand and eat, and even ran into the house one day when Mom opened the door! Bertha had a lot of personality, we really loved her.

Rose, we have several chipmunks around the condo where we rent. I've seen them jump, scurry... but never have I caught one on film in this way. You have nimble fingers, lady@ Thanks, and peace, Amyhttp://sharplittlepencil.com/2012/10/13/wedding-night-waxes-poets-united/
